I am a Senior Economist in the Fiscal Affairs Department of the International Monetary Fund.

Since I joined the Fund I have been conducting analytical work in several areas related to expenditure policy topics, including energy subsidy reforms, public sector wage bill, social protection, and costing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

I have published in top academic journals, such as American Economic Review, Journal of European Economic Association, Economic Journal, Journal of Development Economics and American Political Science Review.

I have previously worked at the University of Warwick and the University of Alicante. I obtained my Ph.D. in Economics from Bocconi University in 2010.
